Air Traffic Control

Abstract

Air traffic control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based controllers who ensure the safe, orderly and expeditious flow of traffic on the airways and at airports. They control and supervise aircraft departing and landing, as well as during flight by instructing pilots to fly at assigned altitudes and on defined routes.
